Isaiah 14:12-17, 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 What made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

As I watch the statue of Sadaam come crashing down this morning, I heard the Lord say:

Today you are watching the kingdom of darkness be brought down before your very eyes. First the natural and then the spirit. I tell you that history in the natural, and history in the spirit is unfolding before your very eyes. And you will begin to hear my people say about the enemy of your soul "Is this what the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?"

Oh, I tell you that I had crushed the power of the enemy at the cross, but now you are watching the manifestation of that destruction. I am destroying the kingdom of pride and arrogance. I am destroying the kingdom of opulence I am bringing down the kingdom of oppression. I am bringing down the kingdom of self. I am bringing down the kingdom of self-righteousness. I am bringing down. I am pulling down strongholds, and I am setting the captives free.

And as the kingdom of darkness and evil is being destroyed in the hearts of my people, My Kingdom is coming into the hearts of My people. I am tearing down, and I am raising up. Don't you see that I am ushering in the thousand year reign of My son, and that I have laid my hands upon that old serpent, even the devil, and I will bind him for a thousand years? Have I not been preparing you to rule and reign? For I would have you rein with Me in righteousness, for I am putting an end to the reign of unrighteousness.

Oh you have said in your hearts "He has saved us for such a time as this," and well you have said. But you have had blinders on your eyes, and you have not been able to see the "whole" picture. Now My plan is being revealed to you, and you will know and you will see the "breadth and length" of what I am doing.

I have said to you many times that the kingdoms of this world are becoming the Kingdoms of your God, and as I live, saith the Lord God, now you are watching Me work in the earth today. I tell you there is much yet to unfold, and eye hath not seen nor has ear heard that which I have for those that love Me.

Today there will be rejoicing in your hearts, for all that the enemy has withheld from My people, it will now be released. Soon the work of restoration, or rebuilding will begin in Iraq. And I tell you that I have opened the windows of heaven, and that for My people the season of restoration has begun, and I will restore it all. All that you have lost through your own foolishness, all that I have taken from you, in order to mold you and make you, and all that has been lost to the enemy of your soul.

I swear to you, by Myself, that the enemy has lost his hold.
